Yesterday I checked out the Wu-Tang Clan at Emo’s. Wu-Tang Forever was one of the first CDs I ever bought. Yes, I am an OG.

How can I sum up my life in a short bio? A soldier? A statesman? A scholar? A Study Breaks Writer? I am pretty sure I am at least three out of four of those things…

Thanksgiving is almost here. To honor the Day of Thanks, I will share a few Thanksgiving-related items this week. To kick things off, here are some sexy pilgrims promoting Tofurky for Peta.
